past 8 to 11 years. the nuance is they're not raising -- if they approve this, they're not raising the debt limit, they're saying we're not going to enforce the debt limit until may 18. that way the republicans can say we didn't vote for an increase. we're just voting to temporarily suspend enforcing the limit. so interesting politics in all of this. >> it has to be done, because the u.s. will default on all financial obligations. right now the debt limit is $16.4 trillion. >> exactly. and they expect to hit that late february or early march, we'll hit that limit. so this buys some time. again, washington is best at kicking things down the road. but also, the president has said this is money we've already spent. this isn't saying give us more money, these are bills we've already incurred. that's why he used that analogy, you go to dinner, you eat and run out the door when the check comes. you've already racked up the

push on climate change. here's white house correspondent jonathan karl. >> reporter: president obama's inaugural speech outlined a boldly liberal vision that congressional republicans declared dead on arrival. >> unabashedly far left of center inauguration speech. obviously it's not designed to bring us together. >> reporter: now that the inauguration is over, what is the president actually going to do? he dedicated more of the speech to climate change than any one issue. >> we will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. >> reporter: that came as a surprise. during the campaign, the president spent more time touting the very fossil fuels that contribute to global warming. >> too much oil, that's a good problem to have. >> reporter: we tried to press the white house on what the president is going to do now that he's made climate change a top priority. >> i think the president will move forward in implements some of the actions he took in the

first term. >> did he run a single ad during the entire campaign that invoked climate change? >> i can't remember. >> reporter: we checked. the campaign ran more than 460,000 ads. not a single one mentioned climate change. officials acknowledge there aren't the votes in congress for a big bill, even for moderate democrats. that's why on this issue, the president's first move won't be in congress. >> supporters like you will be the heart of this organization. >> reporter: with an assist from the first lady, he's launching his new advocacy group, organizing for action to build public support and pressure to get votes in congress that aren't there right now. jonathan karl, abc news, the white house. the top commander in afghanistan has been cleared of any wrongdoing for exchanging e-mails with a florida woman. there were hundreds of messages between the general and tampa

socialite jill kelly. the pentagon ultimately found they were not inappropriate. the investigation was triggered as part of the david petraeus sex scandal. >> interesting. i remember from that scandal a few months ago, up to 30,000 pages of e-mails and documents from his communications with kelly between 2010 and 2012, but none of them have been made public. >> she was interviewed by howard curts recently. she says that is an exaggeration and there were about 300 e-mails. my question is, if you're in a military operation responsible for military operation, how do you have that much discretionary time to e-mail not your wife or your children, but sort of this socialite over 300 times? even 300 to me seems odd and inappropriate. but we don't know the content. >> right.

we don't know. it habit -- hasn't been made public. i'm sure they would argue we're just friends and those were innocent the flirtatious e-mails. interesting scandal. jerry sandusky is in fact facing a new lawsuit in connection with his child sex abuse case. a young man who testified against sandusky last year is suing him along with his charity and penn state itself. during stan san -- during sandusky's trial, the man was known as victim number six. he's seeking $75,000 in damages. and supporters of former penn state football coach joe paterno turned out in the freezing cold last night for a candle light vigil. it was to mark the first anniversary of paterno's death from lung cancer. here's a story to warm your heart, rob. your new orleans saints have their coach back. sean payton has been reinstated by the nfl after serving a one-season suspension for his

role in the saints' bounty program. the league commissioner roger goodell ended his suspension two weeks early, saying payton fully complied with all the requirements imposed on him. >> and speculation that goodell did not want any backlash when he went down to the super bowl in new orleans. that was the interesting part of the timing as well. i'm done, i'm done. anyone who watches nfl games on tv is familiar by now with the computer generated first down line they see on the screen. that could be part of the game for fans in the stadium, as well. the league says it's not entirely convinced about it. further consideration will be given to it after this season. i think it would be kind of cool. >> i like that idea. here's your wednesday weather. another frigid day from the northern plains to the northeast with windchills in northern new england dipping to 50 below

housing shortage. architects entered a contest to design a tiny but liveable apartment for the city's growing population of singles. we'll show you the winning design. and later this half hour, did beyonce really lip-sync at the president's inauguration? if so, she joins a long list of performers who were not really live, they were memorex. >> that was the hot topic yesterday. i'm not sure that's really the dominant issue in our country, but a lot of people were talking about it. and some other high-profile lip-syncing things i didn't even know. one really caught me off guard. i was crushed to find out one really important performance was not what you thought it was. >> we're going to explore that. >> it's coming up. but before all of that, secretary of state hillary clinton is practically out of the door, but she faces one last major public appearance and this will probably not be a pleasant one.

>> clinton testifies today before lawmakers on the benghazi attacks. abc's martha raddatz has a preview from washington. >> reporter: hillary clinton seemed all business. no heels, no contact lenses. she held tight to husband bill, carefully navigating the stairs on the way to the ceremony. the secretary did not take the arm of her military escort, but the clintons could be heard saying to the escort they appreciated that he was there just in case. >> hello. >> reporter: moments later, she was on her own, all smiles, no sign of any residual effects from that nasty concussion. but returning to capitol hill, her headache may be back as she faces what could be a brutal day, the long postponed hearing on benghazi and the pent up frustration of prominent senators who made it clear they want answers about what went wrong. >> i want to know what she was doing, did she give any orders. >> reporter: the outrage on capitol hill already cost u.n.

ambassador susan rice a shot at being clinton's replacement, by saying it began with spontaneous protests. there will be more specifics, why wasn't there more security in such a dangerous place? were you aware there were requests for more security? if not, why not? if so, why were those requests denied? there's already been an investigation and four employees have been removed from their post, but it is clinton who the hill committees have long wanted to hear from. the state department says clinton is eager to testify, but it's not the way she wanted to end her tenure, and it will be one of her last appearances as secretary. john kerry's confirmation hearing is scheduled for thursday. martha raddatz, abc news, washington.

>> as you heard in martha's piece, there already has been a probe into this that showed systemic failures in the way security was handled at the consulate and a lack of proactive senior leadership. and the security around that consulate was profoundly weak. so there are some critical questions hillary has to answer today. so the state department has already agreed to enforce 29 recommendations to improve security, send teams around the world to monitor and check on security at our diplomatic posts. so some of the aftermath we've already seen. >> and they agreed to that immediately. the state department has been very transparent in their reaction to this. there were a lot of people saying that she has this benghazi concussion, and that's where there was much ado about the fact she had fallen. but she did have a medical condition and she always said she's willing to answer the question. i suspect she's not going to be

opaque. >> there's some tough questions and she does owe the country some answers. and political drama here on the senate committee, marko rubio from florida, rumored 2016 presidential front-runner. and hillary could be running, as well. so that's the political dirt behind some of what you'll see today. moving on to more news this morning. more french troops are pouring into the african nation of mali to battle islamic militants. france has about 3,000 troops involved in the operation. u.s. planes are flying in french personnel and equipment. the pentagon says it's still considering a request from france for aerial refueling support. and there's been a stunning political reversal in israel. prime minister benjamin netanyahu did not cruise to an easy victory in yesterday's election. netanyahu did win, but a surprisingly strong showing by a political newcomer turned pre-election forecasters on their heads. that means netanyahu may be

forced to make a stronger effort at peace with the palestinians. there's relief for dozens of american families who feared they would not be able to adopt children from russia. overnight, the american embassy in moscow confirmed 46 pending adoptions are being allowed to proceed. some of those adopted children may arrive in the u.s. today. they were put in jeopardy when russia banned american adoptions on january 1. the new poll reveals changing views on american immigration policies. 60% of americans favor a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the u.s. just three years ago, only half of those polled favored such a move. republicans are leading the change with 53% favoring citizenship for illegal immigration. that's up dramatically from three years ago. >> more fallout from the election perhaps. and now to the growing outrage in los angeles over the just released documents in the

how smugglers tried and failed to move all of this marijuana into the country. that's a lot of pot. come on. >> that's one way to stay warm. also later this half hour, painful lessons for men from women. the simulation that lets men feel the intense pain of childbirth. >> yes. welcome to our world. i have two my children myself, and it is an interesting experience to say the least. >> women endure so much more than men physically. so i tip my hat. >> it is something to behold. >> god bless y'all. i couldn't do it, no way in the world. we all showed you the swanky public celebrations the president and first lady attended after the inaugural. wait until you hear about the after party. who attended, who took pictures of the bash. that is coming up in "the skinny."

i mean, that was the ticket to have, the invite to have. >> oh, yeah. there's -- everyone knows there's the party that's always good. but all the good stuff goes down at the after party, when the real party people get together late night. but we begin with the biting temperatures that are gripping a third of the country right now. more than 100 million of us locked in an icebox right now. >> that's right. windchill advisories have been posted from the dakotas to virginia. it will feel like 50 below zero in northern new england. i can't believe i just said that. 50 below in northern new england. and in new york city, it won't even make it out of the teens. our coverage begins with abc's sam champion. >> reporter: to even the most winter aware, this arctic chill is for real. >> i feel cold, yeah. >> very cold. >> reporter: from the midwest to the northeast, it's the coldest

air in two years. and for most of the country, it's a sudden and drastic change. in cedar rapids, iowa, a balmy 51 degrees saturday. less than 48 hours later, it was 2 degrees below zero, a temperature swing of more than 53 degrees. >> the wind is just ripping. it makes it ten times worse than it should be. >> reporter: this was chicago a month ago. you won't see any shorts on the street. chicago dropped below zero for the first time in almost two years. and a frozen lake michigan left even this poor dog stranded. this blast came in so quickly, it brought blinding snow. in michigan, whiteout conditions. >> you can barely see in front of you. >> reporter: if you're working outside like these construction workers, there's a real danger of hypothermia, frostbite, even cold air asthma. medical experts tell us breathing freezing air can trigger lung spasms. >> i can't feel my nose or

fingers. >> reporter: and maybe even too cold for ice fishing. this fisherman caught these fish live, but now they're frozen solid in the bucket. skin is something to be really careful of. when it gets to 20 or 30 below, exposed skin can freeze in about ten minutes. sam champion, abc news, new york. >> at least that fish looked fresh. >> it sure did. freshly frozen. this arctic system covers a broad area from the upper plains all the way to maine. >> our coverage continues with meteorologist jim dicky. >> good morning. another frigid day on tap from the nation's midsection to the northeast. minus 9 in burlington. 4 in syracuse. 7 in buffalo. lake-effect snow continues here. minus 3 in minneapolis. minus 7 in bismarck and most of these temps an improvement from yesterday. now, as far as how cold it will feel, when you factor in the winds, many spots well below zero from new york northward. certainly in the upper midwest.

rob and sunny, back to you. >> thanks a lot, jim. an unwelcome surprise in northern texas where the region was rattled by an earthquake centered in irving, three miles from the dallas-ft. worth airport. minor quakes rocked the same area back in september. turning now to capitol hill where lawmakers are expected to improve an increase in the government's borrowing limit today. republicans are giving up for their push to exchange spending cuts for an increase in debt. the extension is only for about three months, so a battle still looms between the president and congress over the debt limit. >> just remember, they got through that fiscal cliff deal, barely. but there's still several financial hurdles, and this is one of them, that lies ahead. but raising the debt limit is nothing new, because they've done it 76 times prior, congress has, including 11 times in the past 8 to 11 years.

the nuance is they're not raising -- if they approve this, they're not raising the debt limit, they're saying we're not going to enforce the debt limit until may 18. that way the republicans can say we didn't vote for an increase. we're just voting to temporarily suspend enforcing the limit. so interesting politics in all of this. >> it has to be done, because the u.s. will default on all financial obligations. right now the debt limit is $16.4 trillion. >> exactly. and they expect to hit that late february or early march, we'll hit that limit. so this buys some time. again, washington is best at kicking things down the road. but also, the president has said this is money we've already spent. this isn't saying give us more money, these are bills we've already incurred. that's why he used that analogy, you go to dinner, you eat and run out the door when the check

comes. you've already racked up the bill. the president has signaled he will not oppose this, so it should happen. also, big day on capitol hill for other reasons. it could be a brutal day for outgoing secretary of state hillary clinton. it's the long-postponed hearing on the benghazi attack. clinton faces the pent-up frustration of prominent senators who made it clear they want answers what went wrong at the american consulate in libya. >> i want to know what she was doing, did she give any orders. >> this will be one of clinton's last public appearances as secretary. confirmation hearings for john kerry as the next secretary of state begin tomorrow. border police have been showing off what they are calling a record pot bust. the seven tons of marijuana put on display yesterday is the most ever seized at an arizona border crossing. each of the 600 bails of weed weighs between 25 and 30 pounds. it was discovered last week during a high-risk shipment inspection.

>> when the load came through, it was documented as just metal. however, as you know, the concealment of these types of shipments start long before the truck arrives here. >> the street value is between $7 million and $12 million. a mexican man who was driving the truck when the marijuana was found is in custody. >> wow. the rampant flu season is linked to a shortage now in the nation's donor blood supply. blood centers just like this one in missouri are running low these days because so many folks out there have come down with the flu and are simply unable to donate. the health care workers say you can still donate if you had the flu, but you must be symptom free for at least 24 hours. get-well wishes are going out to our abc news colleague barbara walters. she's giving us an update after her fall in washington, d.c. over the weekend. she says she's still in the

hospital where she's running a low-grade fever. doctors are keeping her there until temps are back to normal and she's looking forward to going home. >> that is good to know. sometimes at that age, barbara is 83, a fall like that can lead to other serious issues. but look, if anyone can beat it, it is the indestructible barbara. >> a vibrant 83. >> may we all live that well at that age. it's been more than 12 years now since the segway was unveiled, and some people are having difficulty getting the hang of that thing. >> plenty of riders, seemingly of all ages, winding up on the ground when they should have been on the segway. >> watch the car. word to any segway rider in waiting. be careful out there. watch your balance, and the best advice of all, wear a stinking

helmet. please. >> look at that! >> why do we like to watch people fall? >> i don't know. it's almost like a guilty pleasure. but no one got hurt. but why ride one of those? i don't know. it's not that convenient when you're biting the dust like that. >> good luck, folks. coming up next, painful lessons for men about childbirth. >> that's right. and exposing lies at the supermarket. high-priced food items you buy may be a fraud. you're watching "world news now."
